The Bruins captain, who has been known as one of the league’s best pests, had social media buzzing after an incident in Game 5 on Tuesday night in Boston, when he was taken down to the ice.

That in itself isn’t usually cause for much talk, except it was linesman Andrew Smith who ended up scoring the takedown.

“And the referee clobbers Marchand!” Sportsnet commentators said after the scuffle, during which Marchand was trying to get at Maple Leafs forward Pontus Holmberg.

Marchand seemed stunned when looking up at who took him to the ice before seemingly yelling “Get off me!”

During Game 6 in Toronto on Thursday night, Marchand was at it again — perhaps getting a little bit of revenge on the on-ice officials.

After a brief tussle during play in which Marchand tried to check Leafs forward Tyler Bertuzzi into the Bruins bench before going off for a line change. Bertuzzi escaped back to his own bench while Marchand tried to get into the door of his, only to be partially blocked by linesman Ryan Daisy.

The frustrated Marchand gave Daisy a shove away from the door before taking a breather. The linesman looked a bit surprised, but quickly moved on without making a call on the contact.
